Given the tools you have, I'd temp attach (couple of screws?) another board with square edge along the edge of the notch. Then rout with your router using flush cut router bit with roller bearing. Make several passes to achieve depth as 1hp isn't a powerhouse and will bind and hop around if you...

I loaded it up and test drove it a bit. It interfaced more like 7 than 8/8.1. But alas I dumped it quickly since it wasn't playing nice with an older ATI X800 video card (driver issue). My gut impression is it is something that I would replace windows 7 with. I tried out 8.1 and I'm just going...

Looks really good and a great way to cook game. Cubed meat in chili makes a world of difference that I do not think most people realize. Chili is fun and its nearly impossible to make a bad pot, but when you come across a great pot you'll appreciate it. I make a similar recipe just with the...

I would consider a retread if it seemed reputable. I guess my biggest question is not the tread staying attached, but more so the handling is since I cannot believe that the differing carcasses would provide similar compliance and ride qualities.

Merry Christmas to all

Saab 9-7x awd is very sensitive to diameter variation. Even with same make and model tires, the clutches whine when one of the 4 is not nearly the same wear level as the others. Forget mixing brands all together. Ford Explorer awd doesn't seem to be nearly as sensitive.

Technically yes, it's best to keep it cool and wet. Day one, about 12 hours after the pour sets up, lightly mist the pour then cover with plastic. Keep covered and mist daily. The plastic should hold the moisture. Slow and cool cure minimize initial shrinkage and therefore cracking. However it...

Both $1100 and $1500 are fair prices. Ask to see 2-3 reference's pours to make sure their work isn't sloppy. Things to look for are straight formlines, expansion against immovable surfaces, no puddles, pay attention under foot as you walk around it for high/low spots, the fineness and...

Make sure you are apples to apples with excavation, formwork, all materials, stone base, etc. 4" = 4 cy ordered so $450ish taxed misc formwork = $100ish 4" stone about $200ish taxed A couple of buds and myself do it on weekends for kicks. Concrete usually costs a couple of extra dollars for...

Galv pipe will definitely be a [censored]. Usually there is a rope attached to the pump and strung all the way up that you pull on as well. Pull some pipe, tie off rope tight, lock off pipe, cut off above lock, rinse and repeat 70 more times in this case. Pipe or rope is always locked off...

I dont know if it matters, but I change the oil with speed in mind. Dont really know if it matters, but makes me feel as though I've done all I could. Fill the filter somewhat but not to the point of spilling. I do not let the used oil drain for more than a few minutes, not hours letting the...

Originally Posted By: eljefino I go at it with a greasy gloved hand. The natural slip keeps it from getting too tight. If I have problems unscrewing it in the future, a dry rag will degrease it and then I can go mogilla gorilla on it. Same here just no glove. Oily paw and tighten it as far as...

Have a 2002 explorer. 20 weight not recommended by Ford. However, I did run GTX 20 weight (a heavier 20) for 5000 miles with no ill effects and didn't really notice a difference. I'd just get some Pennzoil, Shell, or Quaker State 10w-40 and mix it 60% 5w-20 and 40% 10w-40 and you'll be about...

I mix weights and grades all the time. If I can help it, I stay within manufacturer and/or stay with addpacks that seem similar via VOA/UOA from this site. Just mixed some Platinum 0w-20 w/ Shell Formula 10w-40 to a 30 weight since I had to use these bargain oils up for a chevy 5.3. Will be...

It's been a long long while, but I used a shot of 190 proof grain alcohol and added it to a gallon bottle of distilled water. I cant remember exactly, but there was conjecture of other additives, but I never used them. Worked well and cost next to nothing.

I feel guilty if I don't floor it every few hours of operation. Truck needs to take a deep breath every so often and burn off any nasty stuff in accumulated.

In my field it would be "neoprene" (rubber) and "swell"

You want memory listed as DDR2-667 or PC25300. That is two different designations for the same product. You want Unbuffered, Non-registered, Non-ECC (not error correcting). Often times the designation will be followed by a U (PC25300U) for unbuffered. I wouldn't bother with anything over 3GB for...

The Vehicle Reliability chart would be much more useful if the total repair cost (regardless if paid by warranty or paid by owner) was included. I'd much rather my odds with 100 repairs averaging $50 a pop vs 75 repairs averaging $400 a pop.

Unfortunate alignment of several potentially dangerous circumstances that result in a very predictable outcome. Many lives will be ruined for all connected aside from the drivers death. It is a shame how often I similar deadly potential on my ride to work each day and so many unaware drivers...
